I'll start with a sad one : when people he loved disappeared, his mother, Stuart, Brian, John had a strong tendency to be prone to fits of crazy laughter first, sometimes for hours, before he quieted down and began crying (or not).

Some of his books were adapted for theatre, and he also wrote a skit for theatre in the late sixties, called "Liverpool wank", which is exactly what you think it is about. Funnily enough, Yoko strongly supported him and reassured him through the writing of this skit.

John was very annoyed when Paul first came out with having tried LSD, considering he and George had been doing it for months, at that moment, and kept quiet about it. He reportedly said, "he always times these big announcements right on the letter, doesn't he?"

Accordingly, just after his mum died, a tactless girl at school shouted "hey John, I hear your mother got killed by a car." He only nodded and muttered "That's right," and seemed to be the only person not mortified by the faux pas. A witness of the incident remembers: "he didn't choke on it. he didn't register anything. It was like someone had said, 'you had your hair cut yesterday.'" (okay, so who wants to thump that girl too?)
